  • Helldivers are the crown jewel of democracy, the last line of defenSe against tyranny, communism and whatever is not democracy.

    A Helldiver is a selfless hero.

    Can you really call yourself a Helldiver, if you would rather waste 2.11 pints of [actual pure heroin], costing 2.78 SC (adjusted for inflation) of tax-payer labor, rather than being sympathic to our righteous war effort and saving the Permacure-provided stimulant injector for absolute times of need?

    Expect a private message from an administrator of this Lemmy instance within the next 90 to 120 days depending on international policy.



















  • Somewhat in between, more towards the former I guess?

    I wouldn’t say it’s nonsense nor that it should be made fun of, I simply disagree on calling it a “choice”. It’s more like a D&D saving throw, and sometimes the DM just makes it mathematically impossible for you to pass it, but I concede that “choice” is less verbose than that.
    I agree that you can change your psychological reaction to everything, and that it’s not easy, but it’s not, like, an API call to a well documented open-source library, and you don’t necessarily have full control over what that change is.

    The other interpretation is basically your opinion, but actively dismissing the fact that it’s never not always effortless or painless - I’ve heard that here and there, by people I’m not really fond of.
